The Woods at Latimer apartment complex has smoke detectors in units that are up to 10 years expired. Included photo are ones removed from our unit. Maintenance claims to only replace them when residents request, since "they still work" and "It's easier to leave old ones up than go into every unit and put new ones in". When batteries in these expired ones died, we alerted maintenance and they said to take them out and just "not start a fire" overnnight, as they would be out to replace them in the morning since it wasn't considered an emergency to not have working smoke detectors in the unit.

North side of Hawthorne Dr./E. 1st St. intersection: When trying to turn from southbound Hawthorne onto 1st St., it is difficult to see oncoming westbound traffic on 1st St., due to the overgrown foliage in the landscape strip in front of 1127 E. 1st St. There's approx. 60' from the overgrowth to the intersection & with cars traveling 30mph, there is very little reaction time if you pull onto 1st. I've almost caused a wreck twice, because I couldn't see far enough past the foliage without nosing out into the intersection. This is an unsafe condition & this foliage should be cut down.

Since construction started on Winslow Rd. between Walnut St. Pike and S. Walnut St., westbound traffic on Winslow has been a mess due to the single westbound lane approaching the intersection with S. Walnut St. If there is a mix of cars going straight and cars turning left in the single westbound lane, only 2-3 cars make it through on each cycle of the traffic light. During this construction, westbound Winslow Rd. at Walnut St. should either be made "no left turn" or the traffic light cycle should be changed so that westbound traffic gets a period of simultaneous green light and green left turn arrow to allow traffic to clear.

Hello, I live in Bloom Apartments, which is owned by Hunter Bloomington Property Group. Last week, I received this letter announcing a bark park, along with the image at the bottom. I found out that the property group only installed a gate to block vehicles and one on the sidewalk for pedestrians, but have no other enclosures surroudning. I think this is misleading to call it a bark park, when every instance of a bark park or dog park I can find means it has an fenced-in area for dogs to roam. The way they worded this along with the image of the entrance gate makes it seem like it's enclosed. When I called, the representative didn't seem interested or concerned, even when I asked if they could sent a follow-up email clarifying how the space isn't enclosed. My main worry is that dog owners may not know the bark park isn't enclosed, and could lose a dog or have it hit by a vehicle being so close to main roads. Thank you, Vincent Holloway

The location is the area west of the convention center and east of High Speed Tire in the wooded area. This is the pedestrian walkway along third street on the South side between College Avenue and Morton St. There is starting to be an accumulation of trash and what looks like camping gear gathered in the wooded area. It looks like people may be setting up a camp.

Two houses from where this scooter was parked in the 700 block of S Eastside Drive, there lives a blind person. She already has made one fall after a collision with a 'parked' scooter. I thought the scooter companies were not going to accept payment until they had proof (a picture?) that the renter had parked the scooter in a responsible manner. So much for that!
